Missionary Priests

We added Father Schumacher's picture to the list of Missionary Priests of St. Rose. Here's part of a message he sent to all of us last week: "You quote our Lord's instruction in your note: "Take up your cross and follow me." That is, in fact, the passage I chose to place at the top on my ordination card: tollat crucem suam ("Let him take up his cross"). To me, it is the whole hermeneutic of the priesthood and indeed the Christian life. We must follow the Lord Jesus wherever He goes, and His path leads through Calvary to the Resurrection. God bless you all, and may He prosper the work of your hands. Pray for me! Know of my prayers for you."
